Jon Stewart Delivers Fiery Address to President Trump: 'We Will Prevail'

“Clearly, we’re not going to be able to negotiate or shame you into decency,” Stewart said on pal Stephen Colbert’s ‘The Late Show.’

Jon Stewart began the month of June with a triumphant return to the stand-up stage. He’s ending it with a return to late-night TV, where he delivered a message to President Donald Trump Thursday night alongside his old friend Stephen Colbert.

Tagging in for Colbert on The Late Show at the end of a very tough week, Stewart decided to speak directly to the president. “Hello, Donald. It’s me, the guy you made sure everyone knew was Jewish on Twitter,” he began, referring to his infamous online feud with Trump. “I know you’re upset about all the criticism you’ve been taking in the ‘fake news’ and the ‘fake late-night shows.’ It’s just that we’re still having a little trouble adjusting to your presidency as it goes into its 500th year.”

“Everything’s off its axis, it’s a little unusual,” he continued. “Apparently, Putin and Kim Jong Un are noble, intelligent role models, and Canada’s a bunch of giant assholes. But, he said, “If there’s one hallmark to your presidency that I think we’re finding most difficult, it’s that, no matter what you do, it always comes with an extra layer of gleeful cruelty and dickishness.”

Jon is still preaching.



We can not ever call his cruelty as anything other than what it is......wrong.

I volunteer Chris Matthews' slot on MSNBC for a Jon Stewart return, ASAP. Let Tweety find a new place to constantly hawk his books and interrupt his guests every 3 seconds.

John Stewart.

To prevail, we have to recognize that goes for all those who've taken over the Republican Party. Their only principle is that losing is unacceptable. And that's all that is unacceptable.

We really need some strong, persistent faces on television again.
